After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers shocked the Magic 111-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
